Having a small business means having many challenges, especially in the earliest phases of development.  Faced with challenges such as letting people know about your new business, establishing and augmenting your brand, creating a website, designing logos, developing and implementing marketing initiatives, creating and printing real world marketing materials, procuring new clients and customers, building and maintaining a blog, initiating and executing a social media campaign, acquiring followers within your social media platforms, securing office space at a reasonable cost, book keeping and everything else that must be done during the start-up process. This seemingly endless list of tasks seems to imply that starting a new business will most certainly be a stressful and very expensive endeavor. But starting and growing a small business, does not have to cost you an arm and a leg nor does having a small business mean that your business has to look “Small.”

The plot thickens as the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an Order earlier today granting Microsoft an expedited appeal of its  patent infringement loss to i4i Limited Partnership.  In addition to losing approximately $300 million in a decision handed down on Tuesday, August 11, 2009, Judge Leonard Davis of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas also entered a permanent injunction that will become effective 60 days from the judgment date, ordering Microsoft to cease selling the ubiquitous word processing program Word.  Of course, Microsoft could remove the infringing functionality from Word, which relates to the opening of a file containing custom XML.  Early news reports confidently stated that Microsoft would have absolutely no difficulties accomplishing this task, which were ridiculous on their face, as evidenced by Microsoft scrambling at break-neck speed to secure an expedited hearing in extraordinary fashion.  The oral arguments have been scheduled for Wednesday, September 23, 2009, so it appears as if this matter will be coming to a head sooner rather than later.
